Abstract In this paper, the seismic behavior of existing reinforced concrete tall building is investigated by the linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis. The selected reinforced concrete structure was designed according to “Turkey Seismic Code-2007” (TEC-2007). A typical 41 story reinforced concrete building is designed. Turkey Building Earthquake Code-2018 (TBEC-2018) is utilized for evaluating the seismic performance of the selected building. Natural earthquake acceleration record selected and adjusted for compatibility with the adopted design spectrum, is used. A performance analysis according to the TBEC-2018 in a 41-story reinforced concrete shear wall-framed structure in Istanbul where active fault lines are located. The selected reinforced concrete shear wall unsymmetrical plan tall building is located in Istanbul, Turkey. The performance goals of the reinforced concrete shear wall structure are evaluated by applying procedures of the TBEC-2018 and nonlinear dynamic analysis. According to the Code, the reinforced concrete shear wall building is not expected to satisfy life safety performance levels under design earthquake.

Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame Buildings which have been designed as Special Moment Resisting Frames in accordance to three Indonesian codes (SNI 1727-2013, SNI 1726-2012 and SNI 2847-2013) can be evaluated using nonlinear dynamic analysis. Criteria related to strength such as component plastic rotation capacity, lateral displacement as well as criteria related to damage of elements in the structures were used to evaluate the seismic performance of the buildings. Assessment to the moment and curvature capacities of the cross sections of beams and columns were done using XTRACT. The global seismic performance of the structures depends on the seismic performance of components in the structures. In nonlinear model of the structures, the degrading strength of the components were modeled to take into account the gradual reduction of the contributed components to the resistance of the structures. PERFORM-3D is one of the software that can be used to generate nonlinear model of structures. Seismic performance level of structures can be obtained from the results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis using PERFORM-3D. The Seismic performance level can be utilized for: (1) detecting any weaker part in the structures, and (2) evaluating the improved design of the structures for enhancing the seismic performance of structures.

Assessment of the seismic vulnerability of frame-shear wall buildings can be performed by non-linear dynamic analysis and it needs detailed analytical modeling, structural performance measures and various earthquake intensities. The codal based design method can hardly be used for designing buildings of pre-defined target objectives whereas the Unified performance-based design (UPBD) method can be designed for buildings of pre-defined target objectives. In the current study, the UPBD method for frame-shear wall buildings has been applied for different performance levels (PL) i.e. Immediate occupancy (IO), Life safety (LS) and Collapse prevention (CP) with 1%, 2% and 3% drift in both the directions of the buildings. The nonlinear dynamic analysis of the reinforced concrete (RC) frame-shear wall buildings is performed considering spectrum compatible ground motions (SCGM) as per EC-8 demand spectrum at 0.45g level and type B soil condition. Vulnerability assessment of the frame-shear wall buildings is conducted by generating fragility curves and the probability failure of structure is checked based on different configurations and damage limit states of the structure. Finally, the outcome of the work gives a proper idea of the nonlinear behavior of the dual system so that optimum design could be acquired for achieving higher safety aspects.

The seismic performance of ordinary reinforced concrete shear walls, that are commonly used in high-rise residential buildings in Korea (h < 60 m), but are prohibited for tall buildings (h ≥ 60 m), is evaluated in this research project within the framework of collapse probability. Three bidimensional analytical models comprised of both coupled and uncoupled shear walls exceeding 60 m in height were designed using nonlinear dynamic analysis in accordance with Korean performance-based seismic design guidelines. Seismic design based on nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed using different shear force amplification factors in order to determine an appropriate factor. Then, an incremental dynamic analysis was performed to evaluate collapse fragility in accordance with the (Federal Emergency Management Agency) FEMA P695 procedure. Four engineering demand parameters including inter-story drift, plastic hinge rotation angle, concrete compressive strain and shear force were introduced to investigate the collapse probability of the designed analytical models. For all analytical models, flexural failure was the primary failure mode but shear force amplification factors played an important role in order to meet the requirement on collapse probability. High-rise ordinary reinforced concrete shear walls designed using seven pairs of ground motion components and a shear force amplification factor ≥ 1.2 were adequate to satisfy the criteria on collapse probability and the collapse margin ratio prescribed in FEMA P695.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate a reinforced concrete multi-storey building with dissipative structural walls. These walls can improve the behaviour of a tall multi-storey building. The authors’ main objective is to evaluate the damage of a building with dissipative walls in comparison with that of a building with solid walls. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a comparative nonlinear dynamic analysis between a building with slit walls and then the same building with solid walls is performed by means of SAP2000 software and using a layer model. The solution to increase the seismic performance of a building with structural walls is to create slit zones with short connections in to the walls. The short connections are introduced as a link element with multi-linear pivot hysteretic plasticity behaviour. The hysteretic rules and parameters of these short connections were proposed by the authors and used in this analysis. In this study, the authors propose to evaluate the damage of a building with reinforced concrete slit walls with short connections using seismic analysis. Findings – Using the computational model created by the authors for the slit wall, a seismic analysis of a multi-storey building with slit walls was done. From the results obtained, the advantages of the proposed model are observed. Originality/value – Using a simple computational model, created by the authors, that consume low processing resources and reduces processing time, a nonlinear dynamic analysis on high-rise buildings was done. Unlike other studies on slit walls with short connections, which are focused mostly on the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the short connections, in this paper the authors take into consideration the whole structural system, wall, connections and frames.
